Default CODE 34 & 36 on an '88

The CHECK ENGINE light came on the other day and I pulled up the codes with the handy paperclip, but I can't seem to find my diagnostic code list. Does anybody have their list handy and tell me what I'm going to fix? Got a big trip coming up this weekend to the Smokies/Deals Gap, want to make sure she's running right.

Thanks in advance,
Joey

In my repair manual, 34= (1985 through 1990) MASS AIR FLOW-(MAF) sensor circuit. (1984 and 1991 through 1993) MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE-(MAP) sensor circuit (signal voltage low)
36=(1985 through 1990) MASS AIR FLOW-(MAF) burn off circuit. (1992 & 1993) DIST. IGNITION- (DI) system fault.
This is a haynes manual, I hope it helps. :cheers:

this'll be the ol' MAF sensor circuit (Mass Air Flow)

34 - Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit
36 - MAF Burnoff Circuit

these are often (very very) cured by fiddling with the two relays mounted on the firewall (1989), behind the battery.
most simply replace these with new ones. i jimmied the relay cases open and did a minor brush-up on the contacts, replaced 'em and i havent looked back for 5 (?) years.
